Ok, heres the deal.
I was trying to uninstall Aeonserv, a package of Apache, mysql, php etc. However, I didn’t realize that the uninstaller deleted my webroot folder! (equivilent of htdocs)
How can I restore these files? I have over 2 years of accumulated work on there!!! :ahh: :ahh:
Just pull it from your nightly off-site backup. You have that, right? 
What OS are you on?
No matter what OS you are on, make sure the computer is off until you figure out what you are going to do. When/if you do turn the computer on, make sure you do not open any programs that you don’t need to for the sake of recovery.
If its Windows, there are numerous recovery tools that can recover deleted files as long as you haven’t done any serious writing to the harddrive since the incident. Just search on Google (http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&q=data+recovery). I think there are some free tools, or at least shareware that will do the trick.
If it’s some other OS, I’m sure similar tools exist, but I don’t really know of any.
same what max said above, if it was something recent, you could probably restore most of the files that you deleted through system recovery (if you’re running windows). There might be better programs than that, but anyways, when you delete something in Windows, it isn’t really deleted from the harddrive until that space is needed.
I don’t know what OS you’re using, but R-Linux is a good free ext2 (common linux filesystem) recovery app that runs on Windows. There are a whole bunch of Fat32/NTFS ones, but I have no idea what one’s are good, free, or a combination of both 
I’d put the drive into another computer as a slave, since booting an OS will write files to the drive (and who knows where they’ll go). Everybody always learn the back-up-your-data lesson the hard way
And some of us never learn :rolleyes:
(I just went through a similar incident)
Kind of like me wiping out my dashboard that I had worked a good 3 years on.
Anyhow, i did recover an older version of it using R-Studio NTFS 20, i will use that program till the day I die.
If you just got a couple CD-RWs you wouldn’t have to
